What Does Kiwiana Mean?

Kiwiana refers to the objects, symbols, and cultural icons that are uniquely associated with New Zealand. It encompasses everything from traditional Maori motifs to classic Kiwi childhood memories and native flora and fauna. Items like the kiwi bird, the pohutukawa tree, and New Zealand pop art all fall under the umbrella of Kiwiana, representing the identity and spirit of the nation.

Whether it’s a greeting card featuring a classic Kiwi landscape or a home décor item that brings back fond memories, these gifts offer a little comfort from afar.

The kiwi bird is a classic Kiwiana symbol and appears in many of our designs. As New Zealand’s national bird, the kiwi represents uniqueness and resilience—just like the people of Aotearoa. Our collection features everything from artwork to greeting cards and gifts inspired by this beloved bird, making them perfect for reminding someone of home.

Adding a heartfelt note makes your card even more meaningful, helping to bridge the distance between loved ones.

The Beauty of the Pohutukawa Tree in Kiwiana Art
